i am a student of history. and much of the history i read is quite cruel to say the least. mans inhumanity to man litters the pages of history. history is rife with stories of one group taking advantage of, exploiting, murdering and exterminating other groups all for the sake of wealth and power. sometimes i wish i wasnt drawn to this stuff what is that they say ignorance is bliss ha ha. my study has led to some positives though. i absolutely put no one on a pedestal and i mean no one. regardless of title i like to get to know the person myself and form my own opinions. the challenge i have is knowing some of the things i do know that have occurred in the past, can i put them aside and live in the present. and at times it can be a challenge the challenge today we all face as humans is to live open heartedly. to open our hearts to live with kindness and without judgement of others . there are so many voices that would sway us one way or the other. i look at it like this i like to receive kindness from others there fore i will treat others with kindness. it is simple but it works for me in king arthurs time the legend was that the sword excalibur could only be removed from the rock by the true king. many tried but all failed until arthur himself was able to extract it. in each one of us lies an excalibur within our own hearts. the challenge we each face is to find within ourselves the love, the courage and the faith to remove our own excalibur and to wield that sword for the benefit of others. so the open heart is the holy grail. may we each find it within ourselves and realize the power of love

ha ha small topic right. its actually very simple. when each one of us genuinely care about every person we come in contact with and about every person on the face of the planet the planet will change. it will have to it will have no choice. at that point war would end. poverty would end . exploitation would end . deception would end. my goal each day is to genuinely care about every person i come in contact with. its a matter of being conscious and being present. it takes work but it is rewarding because our energy becomes very focused. just a thought

it seems to me like the weather has changed. it is more extreme now. it gets hotter colder. storms are bigger more fires more floods. mother nature is speaking and so far we are not paying attention but at some point we are going to have to. look at the drought in california. this is def real and not my imagination. we are seeing conditions we just have not seen before

i had a dream the other night that i was at jim and carlas house. there was some kind of meeting going on and i was sitting next to austin. the general feeling i got from the dream when i woke up was joy. the message i got was that when people are working together in harmony , without judgement of each other, cooperating with each other , we become joyful and happy. this week my goal will be to go out into the world seeking to serve my fellow human being in whatever way i can. there are always opportunites to be of service to others , just a simple smile shared with another brings joy to both.
